“I’m under twenty-five and I am unable to envision the future. I’m not the only one." A singular voice of the French "Bataclan Generation"—those most acutely conscious of the terrorist attacks in the mid-2010s—grappling with issues of memory or post-memory trauma and survivors’ dilemmas. ​ Survive ​is concerned with the work of grieving for strangers—a grief which does not begin or end but is rather a structural part of one’s being in the world. For Finkelstein it is essential “[t]o abide. Deep inside what is dying in the midst of the bullets going astray and the offenses accumulating in the midst of the misunderstandings imposed on a face other than my own on a body other than my own...to build a world that thinks a world that gives a world that beats—a living world.” Survive situates contemporary youth in a violence-saturated present with which they are all too familiar yet from which many of them feel alienated in a plurality of difficult-to-define ways. Frederika Amalia Finkelstein cuts across national and cultural contexts from French to Argentinian to North American touching on the challenge facing her generation: to understand their own lives as uniquely meaningful in the face of unending mass suffering.
